  • Sep 1998 - Jan 2001

  I worked at Tesco Winchester while I was at University. I was primarily on the checkouts but I was multi skilled so I would sometimes work on staff reception and in the petrol station. I really enjoyed my time at Tesco Winchester and they even helped me transfer to Tesco Southend in the holiday where possible. When at Tesco Southend I worked on the checkouts. I loved greeting customers and making sure they left happy.

• Customer Assistant

  • Jan 1998 - Jan 2000

  I worked at Tesco Southend Metro before the shop was open. We went though lots of training. I was primarily on the checkouts once the store opened but when the shop was quiet and after it closed, I would help fill shelves. I loved my time at Tesco metro and the team were all so kind. I worked here until I went off to University where I transferred to Tesco Winchester. I loved how this store was small and personal and had so many return customers. You got to know people and make their experience a positive one. Customer service was key and I loved the ethos Tesco had on this. Show less
